One day crossed off. One day until dad goes through the interview and eight days until we have him back home. Yay! Can't wait! Today has been an ok day. I knew the morning was going to be an awkward one. My sister and I were going out with the grandparents who are extremely upset about us moving. This is understandable however they portray that sadness with complete bitterness resulting in a fall out between my parents and them. I knew this sitting down at Mc Donalds today and I could feel the tension. I nodded, smiled and subtlety checked the clock.
When we arrived home at lunch I was in a mighty big funk. In the end mummy takes me out to get the rest of the food shopping before we pop over to her friends. Mummy’s friend, Emily, is a gorgeous mother of one and soon to be two. We were greeted with kisses hugs and I could feel myself rising from my glumness already. We all sit and talk me on the floor entertaining the little one, who after many times me babysitting, knows me very well. That little boy full of joy, heartily conversations and tea was the perfect end to the morning and start to the afternoon. I am feeling very blessed.
I spend the rest of the afternoon watching a move before the twins come home from day care and I give them a 'big one' bath much to the youngest, Olives delight. after soaking and throwing bubbles in every direction possible around the bathroom I taken them out, rub strawberry cream all over their bellies and dress them. And here I am now, sitting down and writing while mummy is cooking dinner, the boys and Milly are playing Lego and the twins are watching Dora the Explora who is dancing around the screen shouting Spanish words I am sure the girls don’t understand.
Last night daddy was in my prayers as I lay where he usually lays in bed and imagine him on the plane. It saddens me to think he is there all alone in the sky but I know he is not really alone for God is with him. I really miss him. I am excited for him too though. He gets to go to England! And even better, it's snowing there at the moment! A snowing welcome. I am so excited to hear how he is doing and even more excited to have him home. I am so grateful for the amazing family I have around me, for my incredible mother who is keeping strong and all us six inline even without the head of the house. (Or the second head of the house. God is top) I would just like to say thank you to her. Xxx
